Before: “I realize that I have been at this a long time,” says Mary Elizabeth Winstead ahead of her forthcoming bout, “but I still love to find a good opponent I have not fought before. Which is why I am now going to face off with Dua Lipa. Now, Ms. Lipa, I just want you to know that while I used to have a prejudice against models, I have amended my views. Enough of you have beaten me up to show that I was underestimating them. I assure you. I do not underestimate you.”

Dua Lipa smiles: “That is very nice of you to say. I should also mention I consider myself a singer and a songwriter who also models. And I also have no intention of underestimating you.”

“Then this should be a very interesting fight and those are my favorite kind of fights,” Mary says.

“Then we have that in common as well. You just happen to have been doing it a good deal longer than myself,” Dua purred.

“Indeed I have and hope to show you just how much I have learned over the years,” Mary said with tinge in her voice.

“How kind of you,” Dua says drily.

After: Mary breaks into a big smile and waves to her cheering fans. She then goes over ton check on Dua Lipa give her a supportive hug.

“She’s got good stuff. She certainly busted me up good at times, but I think she might not have realized my ability to come back from a beating is not a legend. I admit I can’t always do it, but, as she found out the hard way—it can happen. “ Mary tells reporters later. “I got to say it feels awfully good to be 3-0 so far this year. I can’t wait for my next fight. Well, maybe I should wait for these bruises to heal, but I;m still healing fast, so it shouldn’t be too long.”

Dua Lipa says: “I got to say Mary Winstead really is a tough as they say. My hat goes off to those girls who have beaten her, especially on their first time meeting her. I really thought I had her ready to go after the 6th, but she came back, just like I had always heard and she kicked my butt. Mind you, I won’t be so careless if we ever meet again. I think I could get a whole different resukt in a second crack at her.”

Mary Elizabeth Winstead again showed her remarkable ability to “take a licking and keep on ticking!” Mary herself admits that it doesn’t mean she can come back from a bad round to win a fight, but she has done it often enough to always make a possibility. Dua Lipa put up a good battle against the veteran MEW, but jumped to the conclusion Mary was done after 6—only to find the tables reverse and she was the one counted out. An unfortunate setback from Dua, but she is a clearly a talented lightweight with many more fights in her future. Meanwhile Mary (currently ranked #9) just knocked off the #5 Lightweight which should put her in the serious contention if she can maintain her unbeaten streak. We will just have to see what happens next.
